Does the Stria Terminalis Carry Information Concerning Feeding and Body Weight Regulation from the Posterodorsal Amygdala to the Hypothalamus?
Previous research has demonstrated body weight gain in rats after lesions to the posterodorsal amygdala. Likewise, a recent study also found increased body weight as a result of knife-cuts of the stria terminalis, just as it exits the amygdala. In the present study, these findings were extended and …

Investigation of hypothalamic molecular mechanisms underlying narcolepsy and obesity through DNMT1 and leptin receptor signalling
… since leptin signalling is essential for normal body weight regulation. Several candidate proteins were identified that may negatively regulate signalling through LEPR and are of potential therapeutic relevance for obesity.

An Examination of Maternal Contributors and Potential Modifiers of Fetal Growth in Pregnancy
A greater understanding of critical periods of body weight regulation, including pregnancy, may aid in efforts to optimize weight management strategies for the mother and her baby. The gestational period has been implicated to play, in the child, a vital role in the developmental origins of obesity …

The bHLH/PAS Transcription Factor SIM1 Is a Novel Obesity Gene
… normal Sim1 gene dosage is critical for proper regulation of feeding behavior and body weight regulation.

Thylakoid membranes from green plants affect appetite and promote body weight loss
The incidence of overweight and obesity has reached alarming proportions. Today, overweight, obesity and the metabolic diseases cause more death than starvation. To counteract an increasing body weight gain, regulation of appetite and a controlled food intake is of greatest importance. Simply put, …

Genome wide expression analysis and metabolic mechanisms predicting body weight maintenance
… the health systems. Adiposity, an increase in body fat mass, is a major hallmark of obesity. Adipose tissue is long known not only to store lipids but also to influence whole-body metabolism including food intake, energy expenditure and insulin sensitivity. Adipocytes can store lipids and …

Altered Autonomic Nervous System Function in Chickens Divergently Selected for Body Weight
Autonomic nervous system activity is related to body weight regulation. Based on the MONA LISA hypothesis it has been suggested that most obese subjects and animals have low sympathetic nervous system activity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in autonomic …

Neurochemical and functional characterisation of the Melanin-concentrating hormone system in the rat brain
… intensively studied for its involvement in the regulation of feeding behaviour and body weight regulation. The importance of the neuropeptide MCH in the control of energy balance has been underlined by MCH knock out and Melanin-concentrating hormone receptor subtype 1 (MCHR-1) knock-out animals. …

Genomic and Physiological Differences for Ghrelin and Leptin Receptor in Lines of Chickens Selected for High and Low Body Weight
… nervous system (ANS) activity is related to body weight regulation. Based on the hypothesis that Most Obesities kNown Are Low In Sympathetic Activity (MONA LISA), it has been suggested that most obese subjects and animals have low sympathetic nervous system activity. Leptin, leptin receptor, …
